DULIAJAN: Under the aegis of SPICMACAY, a musical extravaganza was organized by DPS Duliajan on 26 April, 2023 (Wednesday), in which Ustad Johar Ali Khan, the renowned Indian Classical Violinist, held the audience spellbound with his magical performance.
The celebrated violin virtuoso was accompanied on Tabla by Sri Ujjal Roy and Sri Baisampayan Bhowmick on Taanpura. This unique programme was a part of the Upper Assam circuit of SPICMACAY and DPS Duliajan successfully conducted it. The programme commenced at 11 o’clock with the auspicious lighting of the lamp ceremony, followed by felicitation of Ustadji along with his accompanying artists.
Right after that, the incomparable music maestro took the stage and then began his enthralling renditions of violin recital. The entire school auditorium reverberated with the soothing music pieces rendered in their inimitable grace and style. At the end of his presentation, Ustadji interacted with the students and shared his valuable words of wisdom and insights.
The event was attended by a large number of students and faculty members for whom it was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the true essence of Hindustani Classical Music.
At the end of the musical performances, a token of gratitude was presented to Ustadji and his accompanying artists by the school authority. DPS Duliajan considers it a rare privilege to host this event and looks forward to conducting more of such programmes in the near future.
SPIC MACAY (Society for the Promotion of Indian Classical Music And Culture Amongst Youth) is a non-political, nationwide, voluntary movement founded in 1977 by Dr. Kiran Seth, Professor-Emeritus at IIT-Delhi who was awarded the 'Padma Shri' for his contribution to the arts in 2009.
SPICMACAY’s intention is to enrich the quality of formal education by increasing awareness about different aspects of Indian heritage and inspiring the young mind to imbibe the values embedded in it. It seeks to inspire youth through experiencing the mysticism embodied in the rich and heterogeneous cultural tapestry of Indian and World Heritage, with a hope that the beauty, grace, values, and wisdom embodied in these arts will influence their way of life and thinking and inspire one to become a better human being.
